Makeover!!!

Hi Lovies!!!

I have some exciting news! I was at work the other day when I met Crystal. She told me she was heading to a friends wedding and wanted to know how to do her eye makeup so I gave her a few pointers when she asked me if I could do her makeup for her! I have done a few friends and co workers makeup before but never at random, but Crystal is very sweet and I didn't hesitate to say "YES". I did not charge her nor did I ask for any money for my services. I met with her after work and completed her look in time for her friends wedding, I was so happy that she loved the outcome! But I wasn't able to get a before picture because she needed to be at the wedding by a certain time so here I am showing you the after pictures! Hope you like them!

ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Swatches!

Howdy! Heres my swatches of my ELF purchases:
I have 7 of their mineral shadows and I LOVE them! They are so vibrant and shimmery!
Front Row: Innocent, Celebrity, Outdoorsy, Beachy
Bottom Row: Smolder, Dreamy, Socialite
The swatches are done without a base and you can tell how potent and pigmented these lil suckers are! I am showing two of the same swatches one with a flash so you can see the shimmer and one without the flash so you can see the pigmentation:

 
These are the two ELF brushes that I used to apply my Sinful Summer look and I actually liked how great they worked! Very impressed! 

Sinful Summer

The colors are so vibrant and loud they're sinful! 


So on my YT channel: VanityXIsXMyXSin, I recently put up a video about my ELF purchases and I used a few of my ELF mineral shadows to achieve this electric look. I also used my Forever21 love&beauty palette as well. Ready? lets get to it!>
Here are the ELF mineral eyeshadows that I am involve with! I list the colors in order from top to bottom for you:
*Innocent: Matte eggshell
Celebrity: Shimmery nude
Outdoorsy: Shimmery green
Beachy: Shimmery denim blue
Smolder: Shimmery cool grey
*Dreamy: Shimmery turquoise
*Socialite: Shimmery brown/purple

Out of the shadows I used Dreamy for the inner part of my eye and I used Socialite to smoke out the look, Innocent was used for a brow highlight and for the inner corner of the eyes.

 Here I'm displaying my Forever21 palette which I also used.
























These are the two colors that I used: The top color is a bright blue and below that is a bright deep blue/purple.
 For the bright blue I placed this color dead center on the lid and gently blended this color into Dreamy. As for the deep blue/purple I placed this on the outer corner of the lid and gently blended this color into the middle bright blue color.***Careful not to go past your crease I kept these colors only on the lid. Afterwards I took Socialite into my crease be careful to not disturb the bright colors on your lid while you blend Socialite in the crease but mainly keeping the darkness on the outer eyes. Heres a close up.>




Next I took Innocent for the inner tear duct and for the brow highlight as well...I forgot to show you the yellow that I used, but I used the yellow in my Forever21 palette (2nd row, 2nd yellow down) and I placed this color on the lower lash line, Finally I put on black eyeliner and mascara and your DONE!>










The finished eyes should look something like <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<this!
Hope you like this look!
